I just started reading The Handmaid’s Tale (never saw the series). It’s too weird, too parallel. I might have to stop reading.
If you haven’t already, and you like speculative fiction, check out Octavia Butler’s parable series. It focuses (a little) less on the Christianity aspects than Handmaid’s Tale, but it is equally accurate and terrifying (while offering some hope, thankfully).
I will, thank you!
I put it down for that reason. Good art can be uncomfortable, but christ it got too real and depressing.
